Honestly, even though it's more severe I have thought I wasn't as sick with pneumonia as I was when I had bronchitis. I don't get the same whistling with pneumonia every time, and while not necessarily feeling caught up in breath tend to not move enough air to have it cause coughing - and you don't always notice when the reduction in oxygen you get only slowly decreases.

I'm glad it was caught, though, and that you're on medication which should help it get better! Take care of yourself, and don't push it even though you'll probably feel fine and want to push faster than the doctors say you can.

The pews never miss a sermon but that doesn't get them one step closer to Heaven.
